FELLOWSHIP

Koinonia is a Greek word that means "communion by intimate participation." It's used frequently in the New Testament to describe the relationship within the Early Christian church. Each believer's relationship of saving faith to Christ formed the basis of their relationship and connection to each other [refer to FAMILY]. The essential meaning of koinonia embraces concepts conveyed in the words "FELLOWSHIP, community, communion, joint participation, sharing and intimacy." The New Testament describes those bonds as so vital that a deep level of FELLOWSHIP and genuine caring and sharing can be experienced among the individuals of a local church.

Acts 2:42-47 "They devoted themselves to the apostles' teaching and to the FELLOWSHIP, to the breaking of bread and to prayer. Everyone was filled with awe, and many wonders and miraculous signs were done by the apostles. All the believers were together and had everything in common. Selling their possessions and goods, they gave to anyone as he had need. Every day they continued to meet together in the temple courts. They broke bread in their homes and ate together with glad and sincere hearts, praising God and enjoying the favor of all the people. And the Lord added to their number daily those who were being saved."

We thrive on this intimate participation together, centered in Christ, as we FELLOWSHIP in Sunday Bible Study, Sunday Worship & Word, The Lord's Supper, and Wednesday Night Bible Study (WNBS) each week.
